“Ashley was great! We needed to find a place at the last minute for our dog for a couple nights. Great communication and she was able to accommodate some minor schedule changes, which was a big help. And, she took great care of our dog, who said he had a blast!”
“They're a reason she has so many 5 stars! Ashley did a great job of taking care of our Tuck Tuck baby and keeping him distracted and entertained. Mavis was the prefect little companion to make sure he didn't miss us too much. We will absolutely use again. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time leaving our 2 dogs with other people, let alone strangers. We went to do a meet and greet beforehand and didn’t know quite what to expect. Ryan and Chelsea were great with both of them from the start. Ryan answered all of our questions and was very open. While we were away he kept us updated with how they were doing and sent us photos and videos often. That made it so much easier to enjoy our trip and not have to worry how they were doing. When we went to pick them up, our dogs were excited to see us, but made sure to get last pets from Ryan. We know they are in good hands with Ryan and Chelsea. We will definitely be coming back to them for our trips and we highly recommend! Thank you so much!”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my dog here because she was awesome! She sent pictures to me of my dog while he was there which gave me that extra bit of comfort! She was great with communicating and I'll definitely be using her again!”
“Crystal was terrific. Plenty of room roam and friends for our pup to play with. Super communicative with updates and pictures. Highly recommended.”
“Prospect was in great company and thoroughly enjoyed his time with Aiko and her family :) Great communicators, flexible with my changing pickup & dropoff times, and my boy was returned to me safe & happy. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Ashlee and her husband were great care takers for my dog over the weekend. Their dogs are so friendly and my dog Chunk had a blast. Lots of playtime outside, walks and pictures throughout the whole stay! Ashlee takes such good care of them and treated my dog just as I would. I will absolutely reach out again when we need a sitter.”
“Hawken was fantastic in watching and caring for my 3 golden retriever boys!! Loved that he sent daily pictures of them while I was away and missing them. I had no worries knowing that they were in good hands. He took each one on walks to get to know them better and spend quality time with each one. I would definitely have him watch my boys again!! Thank you so much Hawken!! -Maria”
“Faelyn was awesome! She responded immediately to my short notice request and was available the following day for a meet and greet since we ha had not met at the time and are very particular with anyone we leave our two senior dachshunds with. She took great care of our babies and even sent fun pictures to show how they were doing while we were gone. Would highly recommend her and will definitely take advantage of her services again when and if we go out of town and aren't able to take them with us.”
About: I have 3+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including my own, family pets, and even strays. I’ve cared for dogs at all life stages—from puppies to seniors. I’ve always had a big heart for animals—they’re amazing and truly deserve our love. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own. I am currently stay at home wife, my schedule is pretty flexible so I will have plenty of time to care and play with your puppy. I will be available after 10 am. We can talk and work out on the schedule that would work best for you. I have fenced yard and two puppies to keep your fur baby company, they either play in side the house or outside depending on the weather because I consider safety first; but while they’re in the house I can keep them occupied and busy with playing, puzzle games, they can roam around the house but I always keep my eyes on them or I can create them if pet parents needed; I have camera to monitor them.
“Mandy took great care with Zoe's special dietary needs and it was obvious Zoe had a great time while staying there and well taken care of. Mandy provided updates and/or pictures every couple of days during my weeklong trip and responded promptly when I checked in.”
“Zoe & I did a meet & greet with Stacey & her dog before booking & Zoe seemed ok with her. She has a yard for the dogs to run around in. Stacey is very personable! Stacey was great about sending updates & pictures. She included Zoe in any outdoor activity she & her dog went on. Zoe is nervous with new people, but Stacey said Zoe warmed up to her & her dog quickly. Stacey let me know that I may not have packed Zoe enough food (mom fail) & asked what brand I fed her vs. just feeding Zoe what her dog ate, which I greatly appreciated (Zoe did have just enough, lol). She gave me thorough rundown when I picked Zoe up. I highly recommend Stacey & Zoe will be definitely staying with her again.”
“Kiara and her family are so good with my pup! He is always so happy. She sends lots of pictures and gives us updates which we always love! I highly recommend booking with her:)”
“Ramona was seriously really great. We could tell she and her family were genuinely happy to have our dog Murphy at their home for a few days. We received several updates and pictures of Murphy. Murphy didn’t want to leave when we picked him up! We will absolutely be using Ramona in the future.”
“Sondrea took great care of our cat, Tito! Her home is truly a cat paradise and I know he loved being there. Tito was hesitant of his new surroundings and other cats at first, and Sondrea made sure to help him feel calm and comfortable while he adjusted. She sent pictures and video updates throughout the week and was easy to communicate with before and during Tito’s stay. We would definitely trust Sondrea to take care of Tito again in the future!”
“Melanie was professional and reliable. She ensured we had a meet and greet before agreeing to the booking. Melanie provided daily updates and made sure my girl was loved and exercised. I highly recommend Melanie to care for your canine!”
“Alice was great with our needy pup. He’s got separation anxiety, but that wasn’t an issue because someone was always with him during his stay. There were plenty of humans and dogs to help put him at ease. Looking forward to more trips away now that we’ve got a great sitter!”
About: Hiya! My name is Chelsea and I am a mother of a 7 year old tux cat, and a 6 year old tabby. I’ve grown up around animals all my life from being on a farm, I absolutely adore them. I can promise while your furbabies are in my care they will be loved as if they’re my own, we will have lots of play time and walks♥️♥️ Please feel free to reach out if you need anything 😊 I am currently a stay at home wife so my schedule is pretty open, while you’re working with me I keep open communication and will let you asap if anything affects my schedule. I have a fenced yard and live by a lot of walking trails to give your babies plenty of exercise. We also have plenty of toys and treat for the babies so they’ll definitely get spoiled here ♥️♥️

This was my dogs' second stay with Sarah and it was just as great as the first. My dogs were excited to be back at Sarah's house and came home happy and tired. Sarah was communicative and sent great pictures, even though it was a short stay. I definitely recommend Sarah's services and plan to book with her again in the future.
Hew and Jolynne took amazing care of my two pups while we were away! I was extremely nervous at first about anyone other than family, but as soon as I met them to drop the dogs off, I was immediately at ease. They asked countless questions about my pups at drop off, which made me feel like they genuinely cared about them and wanted to understand them as much as possible. At pickup, my pups hardly wanted to come home and I could tell they had an amazing stay with Hew and Jolynne. I will 100% be booking them again if I ever need pet sitting services! Amazing and very caring people that you can trust!
Ralph and Irma were so great with Magic! Magic was instantly comfortable around them. He enjoyed lounging in their backyard and playing with Ralph. Ralph gave me daily updates which reassured me. that Magic was happy while I was away. Thank you so much Ralph and Irma!!
Aubrey was great to work with from reservation through pick up. I even had to pick up the dogs mid reservation to get our health certificate to fly out with the week. She made everything seamless. I loved that she sent daily photos, this is a huge gift and very much appreciated. When I picked them up they were happy and healthy I couldn’t have been more pleased! Thanks Aubrey! *****
Alice was great with our needy pup. He’s got separation anxiety, but that wasn’t an issue because someone was always with him during his stay. There were plenty of humans and dogs to help put him at ease. Looking forward to more trips away now that we’ve got a great sitter!
Sondrea and Josh were absolutely the best sitters I have had! My golden puppy is a handful and they took such good care of him. I got so many pictures and videos. Sondrea met with me before my booking to make sure that everything would go smoothly. Excellent communication. My dog returned a very happy and tired boy. Thank you so much. 10/10 would rebook!
Cole was fantastic with Velvet, my 2-year-old rambunctious Norwegian Elkhound (who had truthfully run a few of my friends out of town). Cole sent me photos every day of a two week long vacation, obviously extending a lot of care to make sure Velvet was exercised in the middle of an early March cold snap. And that was after watching Velvet for the prior weekend, so I'm surprised Cole wasn't over my energetic doof of a dog! Cole was also extremely accommodating when travel plans threw curves our way, and we picked Velvet up a couple hours later than anticipated. I really appreciated his grace and kindness and would recommend him a thousand percent.
Kerry was amazing! She kept us updated throughout our whole boarding time. She was very accommodating to our dog who has severe anxiety, and even went out of her way to get our dog a new tag after the old one broke. Would definitely want to board our dog again with her! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Anchorage on Rover is $40.13 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 194 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Anchorage. About 91% of Anchorage sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AK ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
